It just gets better.
This morning the old bill were at the same spot, pulling over cyclists and fining them.
Earlier this week I was told of an interesting get out. You can be fined for riding your bike over the line - or even wheeling it. However if you are carrying your bike you are merely a pedestrian and do not have to follow the lights. Once over the stop line its as if you are joining the traffic from the kerb.
So I got off my bike, lifted it over my head and walked over the line waving at the police shouting "Good Morning Officers!" Got back on the bike and pedalled off.
I did not have the time to get my refund cheque out of my bag and wave it at them.
